AI Impact Summit 2026: Experts Highlight Pathways to Scale Women’s Access and Opportunity Through AI

The session, titled “Leveraging AI for Women,” brought together leading voices in technology and gender inclusion. Dr. Bhavani Rao, UNESCO Chair for Gender Equality & Women’s Empowerment and Dean of the Amrita School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, joined Shreya Krishnan of AnitaB.org for the panel discussion, which was moderated by Swati Goyal of Deloitte. The speakers collectively stressed that meaningful inclusion cannot be treated as an afterthought in AI development. Instead, they emphasized that equity must be intentionally embedded into AI systems from the very beginning — particularly to ensure that rural and underrepresented communities are not excluded from emerging digital opportunities. Dr. Rao underscored the importance of building AI ecosystems that go beyond technical innovation to address structural barriers faced by women. Panelists highlighted several key enablers for scaling impact, including widespread AI literacy initiatives, strong ethical and governance frameworks, participatory co-design approaches, and sustained cross-sector collaboration among academia, industry, government, and civil society. The discussion reinforced a growing global consensus: when thoughtfully designed and responsibly deployed, AI has the potential to become a powerful accelerator for women’s economic participation and leadership. However, realizing this promise will require intentional design, inclusive policies, and continued investment in community-centred capacity…

Dr. Bhavani Rao Calls for Ethical, Inclusive AI at India AI Impact Summit 2026

Dr. Rao participated in the panel discussion titled “Data, People, and Pre-Empting Mass Exclusion: Building Ethical AI as Digital Public Infrastructure.” The session was co-organized by Globethics and AI Safety Connect in collaboration with the Women for Ethical AI South Asia Chapter, bringing together global experts to explore the risks of algorithmic exclusion and pathways toward responsible AI systems. The panel examined how algorithm-driven technologies, when poorly designed or insufficiently governed, can unintentionally exclude vulnerable communities from essential services such as welfare, healthcare, education, finance, and governance. Speakers emphasized the importance of building AI systems that are accountable, transparent, and rooted in community needs. During her remarks, Dr. Rao highlighted that the origins of AI bias ultimately stem from human bias, stressing that ethical frameworks and value-driven design must be embedded at the earliest stages of AI development. She called for interdisciplinary collaboration and stronger governance mechanisms to ensure that digital public infrastructure remains inclusive and equitable. The summit also marked the official release of the Women for Ethical AI South Asia Impact & Activities Report 2025, which showcases the network’s growing regional efforts to advance gender-responsive and inclusive AI governance across South Asia.

Regulation of Inflammation by Natural Product extracts: Role in osteoclastogenesis

Regulation of Inflammation by Natural Product extracts: Role in osteoclastogenesis

Inflammation is the body’s endeavor at self-defense, the intent being to eradicate harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens and begin the healing process.  It is one of the major steps in normal wound healing process with overlapping events such as formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases. Thus the inflammatory response plays a key role in both health protection and disease generation. Osteoclasts are the multinuclear cells specialized for bone resorption, playing a crucial role in bone remodeling. Osteoclasts have been known to differentiate from hematopoietic precursors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in the presence of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1) and receptor activator of ΝF-κΒ ligand (RANKL). Inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) have been reported to induce osteoclast formation indirectly by stimulating osteoblasts. Chronic inflammation can lead to an abnormal increase in osteoclastic bone resorption and excessive bone destruction as observed in osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal disease (PD) etc. The use of herbal or natural medicines for the management of diverse disorders has an extensive and widespread history. The present study is…
Development of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for detection of Glucose, Cholesterol and Kidney Function

Development of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for detection of Glucose, Cholesterol and Kidney Function

The proposed work envisages the fabrication of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip (LOC) module for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose, cholesterol and creatinine using a single device. This consists of a disposable LOC and a non-disposable electronics module. The use of non-enzymatic sensing module helps to achieve longer shelf life, eliminating the need for stringent storage conditions. This reduces the cost and time of analysis considerably. The point of care diagnostic device provides an effective alternative for the existing expensive and time consuming clinical analysis performed by a trained clinical lab technician. This would thereby enable access to low-cost medical diagnostics even to underprivileged sections of the society.
Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Microbial Pathogenesis

Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Microbial Pathogenesis

When encountering a new host, every potential microbial pathogen can stay, acquire nutrients, colonize and then seek another host.  Alternatively the pathogen could express its full battery of virulence factors, and invade the host. The successful attack of a host is now understood to be a communal process called Quorum Sensing (QS). Utilizing QS, pathogens employ a series of chemical signals and sensing systems that jointly engage bacteria to switch from acting as individual cells to operating in a concerted multicellular fashion. QS is the capacity to detect extracellular, small-molecule signals and to subsequently alter gene expression in response to bacterial population densities. The QS systems of bacteria are now known to serve a wide variety of functions beyond a simple estimate of cell density. Some of the processes controlled by QS include bioluminescence and expression of virulence factor(s). Furthermore, QS also plays a pivotal role in the production of healthy and fully developed biofilms which are complex and stable multi-layered structures with defined architecture, in which bacterial communities exist in a sessile form.Many gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria uses QS to control virulence and biofilm formation. A major challenge presented by biofilms is that bacteria living within them enjoy…

For that, we need love, compassion, tenderness — a heart that knows and responds to the pain of others. We need broadmindedness and maturity in thought and action.
